Performance

 

Yamaha RX-V740

Beautiful sound; six 90-watt channels; Dolby and DTS 5.1/6.1 surround processing, plus DTS 96/24; 24 synthesized-surround programs; phono input; two-zone operation; programmable LCD remote.

Despite its relatively low power rating, this beauty offers solid build quality, sweet sound, and plenty of oomph.
